This was my first time hiring a home stager, and Miranda Home Design was recommended by our real estate agent. Simply put, Miranda and her team are exceptional. I can confidently say her services are worth every penny. Miranda has an incredible eye for design and an innate ability to see the full potential of a space. The way she and her team decorated and arranged each element blew us away--we kept asking ourselves, "Why didn't we think of that?" She didn't just stage our home; she completely transformed its aesthetic. Every room felt elevated, cohesive, and intentional, yet still warm and inviting. She knew exactly how to highlight the home's best features, improve flow, and make each space feel both stylish and livable. Our listing stood out from comparable properties and made a strong emotional impression on everyone who walked through the door. Thanks in large part to Miranda's work, we received multiple offers and ultimately sold our home for top dollar. Her staging didn't just make the house look beautiful, it directly contributed to a faster sale and a stronger financial result. read more

My realtor had a vision that she wanted Kristi to stage. Kristi made that vision come alive in a way that all said was amazing when they saw the results. But the goal was to sell the house. Her staging is what made the house tell its story to sell on it's first weekend. This meant not having to keep living through a staged house for so long. It is amazing to have had to get the house staged then it sells on its first weekend of open house! That pretty much says it all. She knows it take 8 seconds for a buyer to enter the home and determine if they like it or not. She made impact for the house and it sold! read more

THE BEST! I work as a stager in the Pacific Northwest and when my parents were selling their home in the Bay Area I researched high and low to find the best one in the East Bay. I stumbled upon Miranda's website and LOVED what I saw. I was even more impressed when I called her and discussed the project. She is professional, sweet and a pleasure to work with, but most importantly her WORK IS AMAZING. I would recommend her 10 times over to my friends and family in the Bay Area. The pictures attached speak louder than any praise I could give her. Thanks to her we received over a dozen showings (during COVID times) and a hand full of offers in less than a week. read more

What a disappointing experience! I had such high hopes. It felt like she didn't even listen to what we wanted. Her design was the exact opposite of what we said we wanted. For example, No gold and yet gold was peppered throughout. She didn't even follow up with us after she collected the initial fee for the consultation and gave is the preliminary design. read more

Amazing job. Very professional. We hired Miranda Home Design for staging. And we have recommended them for interior design to friends/family who have inquired. Kristi and her team only had a couple of hours to stage the house before it was time for the photographer to do his job. Kristi and her team came in and went straight to work. Even with the time crunch, I didn't even sense any stress. From the consultation to the end, Kristi and her team was a pleasure to work with. We did partial staging, but I was shocked by the transformation. I thought partial meant some plants and a few knick knacks here and there. Kristi actually brought in a lot of furniture pieces that helped elevate some of our existing items. I didn't know the house had so much potential. In my opinion, her style is very modern and high end, it made the house look elegant. I firmly believed that it was with her staging that I was able to sell the house fast and over asking price. I highly recommend hiring Miranda Home Design, you won't regret it. read more

Can't say enough about Miranda Home Design's amazing service, incredible style, & profesionalism when staging my recent listing. As a Realtor, working with Kristi & Team was a game changer that helped sell my listing after only 14 days on the market at top dollar! The whole process was pleasant and stress free. During my open houses I had several agents & buyers ask "Who is your stager, I really love what they have done". Miranda Home Design is really worth the 5 STAR rating! Won't hesitate to use them for future lisitngs. read more

Kristi is wonderful to work with, not to mention how beautiful her work is! My home is an almost 100 year old small little cottage that hasn't had a lot of updates in the past years. She casted her magic and made my house shine again. I've never seen a stager has such a good sense of space. I have a big living area in a small house, but if you look at the recessed ceiling, it's clear that the big room is supposed to have two functions. She strategically placed the right sized couch and chairs in one side of room, and a small desk in the other to create two very functional and beautiful spaces in this confusing room that the last stager (when I bought this home) made it even more confusing. Her decorative items are tasteful and fit the house perfectly! I totally wanted to move back in! I showed the pictures to my mom, she liked them so much that she requested all the pictures! Do I need to say more about how good Kristi is? read more

I did not end up using Kristi's staging services, but still giving an enthusiastic 5 stars for her responsiveness, excellent communication, professionalism, and punctuality in responding to my last-minute request for a quote. She contacted me within an hour or so of my initial call, was able to see my property the next day and give me a quote because I was trying to keep a photo session already scheduled for the following day... all during a holiday weekend. read more

Working with Kristi has been an amazing experience. She gave me a reasonable quote and even advised me that we could use some of my furniture pieces to save some cost. Not a lot of people are money conscious and think for their clients like that. Her quote sheet is clear and well written too. On top of that, she listened to what I wanted and delivered the staging just the right way. I definitely will use her again for my future listings! Excellent job, Kristi! read more

Kristi was wonderful to work with. I had reservation working with an interior designer, especially since I considered myself with some sense of design and I was concerned about the cost. But she was professional and flexible! And gave me the direction and sense of reassurance I need on my interior paint color selection. She also provided a design board for my living room with suggested pieces which was wonderful and coordinated. I didn't end up purchasing the items right now, but thought her service was really wonderful and worth the investment! Give her a call for your interior design needs!! read more

Kristi at Miranda home design is a wonderful designer first and most important she is listens to our clients needs and their budget. I have worked with her for the several years and she is my first call on every listing (we have done many together). She and her team are extremely clean, professional and timely. Kristi is kind, patient, and she is very knowledgeable on the latest design trends. She always makes our firms listings shine and sell for top dollar (which makes us look better to our sellers). Super flexible and tight schedules are usually not a problem. She has gone over and above on many projects and I have never been disappointed. Often we have sellers moving out of state and she is always able to keep great line of communication to keep our sellers informed of progress. She is a great asset on my team and I feel having her makes me a better agent. I highly recommend her for design and any of your staging needs you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Kristi you're the best !! Joseph DeLima Broker of Record DeLima Real Estate Group 2219 First St Suite 3A Livermore Ca 94550 (925)-339-4403 Direct Cal Bre Lic #01728623 read more

Kristy helped me with the staging of my home in Dublin. She did such an amazing job in staging the place that my home got sold in less than a week's time. Many people who came to the open house were spellbound by the staging and wanted to know who the stager was. Kristy was a very pleasant person to work with. She was ahead of schedule and had a very good sense of interior decoration and was able to utilize the space and the furniture in a very effective way. I would highly recommend Miranda Home Design for anyone who would like to rely on good staging to make their home more marketable. read more

I am pleased with Kristi's service, ideas and was impressed by her first consultation to re-do and elevate my home environment & update based on contemporary style that I have in mind. I'd recommend her services for designing and staging your day to day living. read more

We used Kristi and her team to stage a home that we recently sold during COVID-19 restrictions. She did a beautiful job. We had over 15 showings and went pending shortly thereafter. We are considering her services for interior design on our new place. I highly recommend her and her team! read more

Kristi staged our home to sell and I was blown away by how amazing everything looks! She used mostly furniture and some of the art we already own, but added her own touches to make everything look better than ever. She did a great job of reading the style I had intended and executing it perfectly. The way she rearranged furniture and added the perfect touches breathed new life throughout the house. She made me fall in love with my house all over again. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Kristi came out to give a staging bid on a property in Orinda and she was extremely professional, easy to work with, had great design ideas, and followed up quickly with a reasonable bid. Her response time with calls and emails was what you would expect, but is not always the case with other staging companies. We ended up not staging this particular property due to Covid-19 restrictions which were in place at the time, but will definitely use her for another property in the future. read more

Kristi was referred to me by a colleague who uses her services regularly. Working with Kristi has been an awesome experience. Kristi was able to get to the property, give us her recommendations and stage the home within our short time frame to getting on the market. Staging is a a crucial element to our "Marketing Package". We had blind faith and trusted that Kristi would deliver. We were in luck!!! It was perfect! Kristi used innovative, crisp and clean concepts that complemented the home style. Her team was quick, clean and professional with the staging and removing of the furniture. I credit Kristi's design and staging as one factor in securing 7 offers and getting the "Record Breaking Closing Price" in that specific community! We look forward to our next project together!

I was looking for a stager to stage my listing in Alameda. Contacted a few staging company to provide an estimate and Kristi came back with the best price (and close to what we have in mind) as well as the fastest response. She is very easy to work with and her work is amazing! The old house was totally transformed into a very cute and functional floor plan and look very nice and modern, yet homey. A lot of people came through the open house complimenting how nice the decorations are. I would absolutely recommend her to my clients of my future listings and any one who's looking to stage their home for sale. I would also look for Kristi when I want to redesign the interior of my home. I think she has a great sense of making use of the space and make it look nice and modern at the same time! read more

I wouldn't hesitate to hire her although I need her for all my listings so I hesitate to write this hoping she won't be over booked ;) You will never be disappointed with Kristi, and I would never want to take a listing without her. read more

Kristi and her team did an amazing job staging a couple of properties I listed as an agent. Incredible design, decor, and creative flare made my sellers very happy and both homes sold for Top $$$$$. I have compared other Top stagers and Kristi's Team, Wins Above and Beyond with elegant modern decor and pricing. read more

Kristi, you came in and transformed my home into something that sold over asking and within one weekend. You provided your expertise and also took my input and showed me that there were so many options. You charged less than other providers, you provided me with a longer term contract than others (even though I ended up on needing it) and on top of that you and your crew were very professional, on time and and absolutely wonderful. My realtor left his "preferred" stager and asked me for your contact information. I absolutely and whole heartily recommend you to any home that wants their home to look great. Thank you for everything. Kind Regards, Shadiah read more

Kristi and her team have been incredible through and through. I have used her multiple times for various clients throughout the Bay Area and she has impressed me each time. She works with anyone's budget and despite the budget, the outcome is still the same. Her customer service and response time is on par, and her design choices have never disappointed me. I would highly recommend Miranda Home Design to anyone looking for gorgeous staging for a reasonable price, and stellar customer service. You will not go wrong in choosing her team. read more

I am very pleased to worked with Cristy. I had a listing in Pleasanton and I sold it in 7 days. Most part of it was the staging designed by Cristy. I called up several companies around the area and I found her price was very appealing and her customer service was awesome great!!! I will continue doing business with her again and again in the future. Thanks so much Cristy. read more

Kristi is amazing! She is detail oriented and understands spacing and furniture placement. After she staged my listing she walked the entire home and gave me a final punch list of items to be corrected. That was not her job, but I certainly appreciated a fourth set of eyes! Kristi is very polite, resourceful and timely. She did an incredible job staging my listing and it sold more than $140k over asking and some of the gain can be contributed to excellent staging. I highly recommend Kristi and her team and will continue to use her in the future. read more

Kristi was fabulous to work with and a gentle soul. We were in a rush to get our home ready for open house, and there was sheer chaos during all the renovations. She came in and assessed our home without a judgmental eye and worked with us. Her suggestions were great in terms of the finishing paint touches, and how she staged our home. She created an open, modern and elegant style. Our home sold the first weekend of our open house. We was grateful to have Kristi come in and work her magic that put our skepticism to rest. Also, she is reasonablely priced compared to some of the other designers. Plus, she always had a smile on her face and is a hard worker. Thank you Kristi, and I look forward to working with you in future. Sandra :-) read more

I took Krisit's help to stage and decorate our two bedroom apartment. I really liked the way she was able to utilize our existing furniture and added few minimal decorative items to create a spacious bright looking unit. She is very professional and has been always on time for all her appointments. read more

Kristi has a great sense of both functionality and style, and is tune with what is desirable in the current market.

I recent completed a staging project for a rental property using Miranda Home Design. It was an outstanding experience and I would use them again without hesitation. Kristi was extremely responsive and professional and the project was completed ahead of a demanding schedule. Highly recommended! read more

I needed a great stager at a great price and on short notice! Lucky for me I found Miranda Home Designs. Kristi had great ideas not only about the decorating but also on the color of the paint for my walls! The furniture and accessories were modern and up to date. The price was the best around especially since I was having the entire house staged and not just part of it. She was professional, punctual, very friendly and delivered as promised a stylish design! I would definately use Miranda Home Design again! read more

Kristi did a fantastic job for a skeptical first time seller. Would definitely recommend for someone looking to get the best price for their home. read more

I used Miranda home Design a couple of times for my staging needs. Kristi did an amazing job for all my listings. Every one who visited my open houses mentioned that staging was just wonderful and wanted her contact details. Kristi is very hard working, creative, talented, gentle and has an artistic touch. In one of my listings she helped me at the last moment with smile on her face even though the house was not vacated fully. I would highly recommend her for her excellent work and services!!! read more
